Groundbreaking Day

Groundbreaking Day at OIS (Okpo International School) I went and I was honored to help with the actual ceremony I was representing. It was a enlightening experience. After many speeches describing the process of the development, a group of about twenty individuals were called to grab a shovel and heave the first shovels of dirt. The new school is scheduled to open January 2014! Very exciting

There goes the dirt! 

Keeping on the topic of groundbreaking, I want to do my own groundbreaking.  I want to have my own groundbreaking and I still searching for what ground it is I want to break. I am trying to stay focused yet explore different options.  As I go through my journey I will journal my thoughts, from this I will gather my ideas. Reflecting on my daily activities and thoughts should give me some insight.

Activities from the week of after school activities included Rocket Balloons and Sight Word Balls for reading and throwing.



Rocket Balloons.
Raining Day yesterday so we made some rocket balloons. Super easy and super fun and entertaining along with being scientific and educational.

Sight word balls

Tobias has his favorite word, Daddy!

You and Daddy 

I bought a inexpensive bags of plastic balls and wrote sight words on the balls. The kids read the ball and then try to throw it in the basket. One point for reading one point for getting it in the basket. Working on two great skills!
